Moscow maintains firm stance on territory following Abu Dhabi talks

Following trilateral discussions involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States in Abu Dhabi, Moscow reiterated its uncompromising position regarding territorial claims. Chief Russian negotiator Vladimir Medinsky stated that "every inch of Russian land will be recovered, one way or another," rejecting European media perspectives on the negotiations. The two-day diplomatic meeting—the first such effort since February 2026—addressed potential ceasefires, security guarantees, and territorial issues. During the sessions, the Russian delegation introduced a proposal to offer bilateral non-aggression treaties to select NATO member states within a revised European security structure.

Simultaneously, military strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure persisted. Russian night attacks utilizing over 160 aerial weapons disrupted power supplies for hundreds of thousands of households across the Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv regions.
